Description
Bundled Install: When installing the Server and Web Components on Drive C: I get the Out-Of-Diskspace Dialog. (<1GB Free Space) Changing the path for the components to another drive(with plenty of free space) does not change much. It still wants to install > 1GB on drive C.

I have 940MB of free space left on drive C. My temp-folder is on another drive. Therefore the MSI file has no impact on the diskspace on drive C. The components should have 452 MB(according to the component-selection dialog). The DiskUsage-Dialog shows following data after changing the path to the drive E: C-Required: 1134 MB (924MB from MapGuide Web) D-Required: 3100 KB E-Required: 274 MB
Besides my problems to install MapGuide Open Soruce on my machine, I think, that anyone who installs MapGuide Open Source on a server has enough space left on his drive. I only posted my findings here as requested. ;-)

The best we can really do here is to say you need at least 1.5 - 2GB of free disk space on C:, and on today's hardware that's a non-issue.
The installer is super-tight as is, it won't go down in size anytime soon.

I have a feeling that the recent changes to move CS-Map (still hidden) under a top level "MapGuide" feature will have helped with this at least a bit. Previously, it wasn't possible to move it away from the C drive. There will still need to be lots of space free for the temp files though.
How much disk space do you have on C drive?
The installer extracts the msi and the bootstrapper to %TEMP% (which is usually defined as somewhere on C drive). The msi itself is around 450MB and it is uncompressed, meaning the installation size is around the same. Then factor in the amount of temp files that may be created from an installer of this size and soon you'll be past 1GB in no time.
